Cannot use the webcam with chat programs - Satellite A200-AH7 Vista

Satellite A200-AH7/Vista Home Premim/Chicony USB 2.0 built in webcam

I can't understand how get the audio works with built in chicony webcam when in a chat program or any program for that matter. I can record audio and reading later, but this isn't what I want to do. It's probably just something stupid that miss me... but any help would sure be appreciated... I tried with Windows Live and Yahoo messenger, and so far all I can do is wave to people LOL. I was never able to get it to work... any ideas?

Today I bought a Logitech Quickcam for notebooks in case the problem is with the construction in camera. I don't want to install it unless absolutely necessary and think I would need to uninstall the Chicony to make it work... someone can point me in the right direction?

I just want to be able to talk to my grandchildren...

Thanks in advance,
Sue

  • Satellite A300-22F - face recognition cannot use the webcam on Vista 64

    Hello everyone,

    I have a big problem with the recognition of face and my Windows Vista operating system tool.

    Yesterday I installed Windows Vista 64 bit on my new laptop Sat. A300-22F as him preinstalled
    version of Windows was only 32 and I've got 4gig of RAM.

    Thus, all the drivers are installed and everything works. The driver for the webcam with the webcam program works, too.
    But when I run the facial recognition tool, an error that the webcam cannot be initialized or that
    the webcam is in use and cannot be used with the program now.

    So, no program is using the webcam. The webcam works with other tools. And in the settings of the tool face
    are the webcam, but always available, without work.

    Someone at - it an idea?

    I have the drivers of webcam directly from Toshiba.

    Thank you.

    Greetings.

  • Cannot use the webcam on my Satellite Pro A200

    I have the Satellite Pro A200 series.

    My warranty (with clips) runs out on August 7. I had probs with my webcam since I bought this laptop two years ago. I keep says it's a matter of 'software' and not covered by the warranty. I did everything what I said to do... reformatted the hard drive three times, etc., etc. In any case... I use only this laptop when I go... I checked the other day and that's the problem, now, I recovered it. It works, I can see on the webcam, but no one can see me.

    I get this message that says "turn on camera"... but there is no way to turn it on and just what I do does not work. Is it not now a HARDWARE problem, with a built-in webcam If the camera does not illuminate? So it seems Staples should look like it. I'm back this week for another chance with them.

    But does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    Try this

    * Download driver Chicony Webcam drivers from Toshiba Web site section was updated. If you can't find an updated driver, try a new driver of another model of Toshiba.
    * Install the Service Pack 1 of Vista, or Vista Hotfix KB934374: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934374 (KB934374 is included in SP1)
    * Update your e-mail software (MSN/Yahoo Messenger, etc...)
    * If you have another program that can use the webcam (e.g. Skype), make sure that they are completely closed and not, sitting in the system tray.
    * Try to close the bar Assistant camera on the left side of the office.
    * To stop the Camera Assistant software from running at startup, run Regedit and delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "Camera Assistant Software".

    If it still does not work, then get an ASP to fix it.

  • A satellite - cannot use the webcam - in use by another program?

    Sometimes a reboot works but not very often.

    The camera assistance software says "in use by another program.
    How can I find the other program so I can stop it?
    I already rebooted the software nothing works.

    Reg

    Hello

    The webcam software load automatically at the beginning of the windows to start the procedure. The program mentioned is perhaps the assistant webcam software.
    You can disable this automatic startup in msconfig.
    Type in RUN-> msconfig, go to the Startup tab and disable the webcam software.
    This prevents the start software.

    On the other hand, it could be another tool like Skype, MSN messenger or similar

  • When you use the webcam with some Web sites, PC off

    I installed a video for jwin JC-800 on webcam on my windows xp pc. I used the disc of the included software to install drivers, etc... When using the sites web cirtain to activate the camera, such as windows live instant messaging, it stops the pc.

    The printer works fine but when I swtich to the scanner, it returns the following message:

    HP Scan cannot be opened because of a problem.

    Check with the developer to make sure that HP Scan works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Don't forget to install the updates that are available for the application and Mac OS X.

    I could try to reinstall the driver but I do not know where apparently no longer in the software update list.

    Thank you for your help

    Hi Pierre,.

    The HP Scan is not compatible with Lion, currently the scan software is provided by Apple Software Update and will allow you to scan by using the dialog box Print & scan (located under system preferences), Capture of Image or Preview (both located under Applications)

    Please specify if you can scan using these applications.

  • Cannot use the Upce with Centos64 comments or template customization

    Hello

    I'm trying to deploy a new Centos 6.X 64 comments using a technique of customization. I built the reference VM with a single ext3 partition and the swap partition. I installed the version of VM Tools that is listed as current. When I try to use the specification of customization, I prepared the selection is grayed out with the message:

    Only the operating systems listed in this guide are officially supported for customizing the vCenter guest operating system:

    http://PartnerWeb.VMware.com/programs/guestOS/guest-OS-customization-matrix.PDF

    Unfortunately, CentOS is not among them and vCenter will refuse to apply the customization of virtual machines that are configured for CentOS. However, you can easily get around this by setting the configuration option of the machine virtual guest to the corresponding version of RHEL operating system. This should cause problems for normal operations of VM, but you can replace it on CentOS after customization if you want to be sure.

    LVM or normal partition scheme should without importance for the success of the customization process itself.

    Thank you for your help!

    Nora

    The webcam is already installed. Central webcam is software and is also already installed. Look at the illustrations in the Quick Start Guide in the list of books below and see that the camera is located on the bezel at the top of the screen has a cover and light. Remove the cover to see if that helps. If you're still having problems, go to this site to help support more-

  • Gray display using the S-video out on Satellite A200-24 b

    Hello everyone

    I have Toshiba Satellite A200-24 b, equipped with S-video port.
    When I connect to my TV to always display in grayscale mode (no colors)
    I tried to use other cables and other TV, but always with the same problem.

    the cable I used is the S-video to video (A V).

    someone has an idea for this problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    There are different reasons why you get only a black and white picture on the TV.

    I had the same problem because I used an s-video-to-SCART cable and the pin assignment didn't match with the assignment of the TV port pins.
    But the same cable worked in another TV.

    Another reason could be the bad PAL/NTSC setting.
    Please check this!
